Science and technology (S&T) are the fuel for the knowledge economy and the catalyst for new jobs and economic growth. They drive advances in defense, energy, health, materials and manufacturing, space exploration, and environmental care—government supports S&T so all can share in the benefits. Understanding S&T, providing expert advise to policymakers, studying the effects of investments, anticipating and mitigating consequences, and training future administrators could not be more important to welfare in the 21st century. The Battelle Center for Science and Technology Policy is established to draw upon an integrated public-private team to accomplish these goals to serve Ohio, the United States and the world in these critical areas.

Below are a list of key policy areas that will be developed at the Center over the coming months:
» Energy
» Space
» Agriculture and water
» Biotechnology and health
» Nanotechnology, materials, and manufacturing
» Environment and climate change

The Center is located in the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University, and is endowed by and works in close cooperation with Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle).
